About me:

Hi, I'm Jan. :D I love Snape and Harry fics, and just mentor fics in general. I first started Potions and Snitches (P&S) as a safe place to find Snape & Harry gen fics without stumbling into Snape and Harry slash (aka Snarry, or HP/SS).

Fandoms that I like to read fanfiction of include: Star Trek, Star Wars, Kung Fu : The Legend Continues, Dragonball Z, Stargate SG1, Batman, Angel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I like Gen and Mentor fics mostly. I love hurt/comfort, angst, whump, drama, raw emotions, and vivid descriptions best.

I know how to make and edit graphics, icons, and layouts (html and css). I am a master web searcher. XD

My dreams? One day I'd like to be able to run up a mountain effortlessly, or at least easily. :) I'd like to see Potions and Snitches host every single good Snape and Harry Gen fic there ever existed. I'd like to have people who post here get 100 reviews a chapter. I'd like active-to-the-bursting challenges and contests. I want the site to be a great, fun place that readers of Snape and Harry fics loved and knew as active.

Check out my site, Potions, Snitches and Unlikely Relations! It's a giant rec list of Harry Potter fics, the majority Snape and Harry Gen. Currently, there are 800+ fics listed.

Thanks for visiting my profile! Enjoy the site!

Chocolate frogs!

When all the pressure becomes too much, what will happen to young Harry?

    Hey nice beginning! The scene in the potions classroom was particularly dramatic. Poor Harry.. I hope that Snape goes after him soon.

Remus and Severus are being sent out to find Harry, after Hedwig shows up bloodied and nervous. When they find Harry they are in for a surprise. Will Harry ever recover?

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Oh! I think that I've read this on FFN. Interesting start to the story. Poor Harry- it's so frightening to read from his POV and to see him refer to himself as "it". Very interesting prospective.

    Author's Response: Ys, I have this on Ffas well, but I'm stuck with it at the moment, so I thought I could post it here as well. By the time I get to the chapter I'm having trouble with I should have written some more. Thanks for reviewing!

Title: Chapter 2: The Doctor. 14 Feb 2005
Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    Wow, I really like the premise for this story. It's so unusual to see a POV Muggle doctor and that makes it that much more interesting and refreshing. I'd like you to practice on this chapter making it seem more like the thoughts of a real doctor in the ER and the procedures and such. I know that you can do it and it would make the story that much better, pulling the readers into the action and really fleshing out the experience- making them fear for Harry's injuries while not really knowing what is going on. (I know that TV shows like ER does that all the time with the medical aspects.) I really like what you have done so far and I'm excited to see where you will take this. :) I hope that you will continue writing it!

Light vs. Dark. Good vs. Evil. Deceiving vs. Cunning. Who shall be victorious in this dangerous little game of power?

    oh wow. Way interesting beginning. I liked your descriptions and the mystery behind it all.. wow. Your Snape comes out very well. The beginning was a little too descriptive and made it a little difficult to get into it initially, but i'm glad I did. Awesome ending to this chapter.

If all flowers were roses, they would be Harry's life. Good things ruined with sharp dissapointments. But then what had always been the biggest thorn, may be Harry's very first Tulip...so long as the new girl doesn't accidently kill Snape first...

    Wow, I don't know how I missed this story. Well here I am! I liked this first chapter, the writing and everything was great! I would have given it a 7/10 but the girl at the end gave me pause, I'm usually wary of female original characters just popping up. but you can never tell right away if a character is going to be a Mary Sue or not so... is there more of this story to read?

An answer to Jan's Snowball challenge, and also a cookie for Lies. Set during the winter following Lies, Harry shows during a break from studies that his ability to pretend has only improved with time.

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    I liked this story and I did like your new form of writing that you were trying out. I felt like I was watching some nature program about deers in the winter mountains or something. Haha. It is beautifully written but I don't think that anyone is going to get it. Keep it up and when everyone knows enough in Lies to understand, then post a link at the bottom of that chapter for everyone to read. :) 7/10

    Author's Response: Yeah, well. Maybe I'll try to explain someday. :-P

At the end of Harry's fifth year everything changed. And when Snape answers a call for help during the summer afterward, everything changes again.

    Ah! Nice. Poor Snape just going about his business collecting his needed leaves and he gets whammed. I'm curious to know what Snape will do in retaliation but I guess that that is all there is.. I bet he'll be in a bad mood for the rest of the day. :)

    Author's Response: Hehe! In a bad mood for the next week is more like him! :)

Both Harry and Severus need to go into hiding, and Dumbledore decides to hide them together. Severus notices that Harry is falling into depression, and helps Harry through his agony.

    Ouuu... what a beginning! Harry is kidnapped in the dead of the night. You don't see him taken so easily usually. Nice change. :)

Reviewer: Jan_AQ (Signed)
    OH NO!!! Poor Harry! Wow, this chapter is wonderful, great writing and great movement. But poor, poor Harry. You painted a chilling scene in this chapter and Voldemort was a carefully constructed, incharacter villian. Wonderful, wonderful job on him! I was quite wrapped up in the story telling. I did catch that his "Death Eaters" could find the place though, does that mean that Dumbledore will send Snape? Oh wow, I can't wait to see what little machinations Voldemort will try, and the humanity in all the characters - Harry, Snape and Dumbledore. Great job so far! Please write more!
